Mora has defensive coordinator experience with the San Francisco 49ers from 1999-2003, and was actively involved in defensive game-planning in his two head coaching stints.

The Seahawks fired Mora after one season, and the 49-year old spent his first season off an NFL sidelines as an analyst with FOX and the NFL Network.

The Broncos had been interested in Sean McDermott, who was relieved of his coordinator duties by the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday. McDermott is expected to be named the defensive coordinator of the Carolina Panthers today or tomorrow.
